# The DA says the criminal justice system is failing to protect victims of crime. Its oversight visits found shortages of sexual offence evidence kits at some police stations, which affects cases of gender-based violence. DA leader Geordin Hill-Lewis states weak policing, poor investigations and delays in court are allowing criminals to go free and leaving communities unsafe. Hill-Lewis calls for better policing, stronger investigations and faster court processes to improve safety and ensure criminals are brought to justice.
